I'm sure all the Californians will snicker, but seeing a 356 just out on the road always does my heart good. Unless I'm going to/from a (Porsche) 356 event, I only see the stray 356 on the road maybe every 3-5 years.

It was a nice looking 356C in Champagne Yellow with PA antique plates just coming off the Harbor Tunnel Thruway for I-95 north on Sunday night. I was in the red Karmann Ghia cabrio that played leap-frog until traffic thinned out above White Marsh, and we saw who had the real 1600cc flat-4 under the rear deck. Hopefully the couple in the car know about this list. Thanks for the reminder that 356 folks around here do still get out and just drive.

Bill,

I am not a professional at snickering, but I have to admit that seenig a 356 only everty 3-5 years (non-event) is amazing. One would think that with all our money rolling around in D.C., a few of those fat-cats would appreciate the good ol' 356 a little bit more?

Just a thought from one of us "philistines" here in California.

Hasta la vista,

JP
Keep the faith.

I know of about 11 356s within a 10 mile radius of my house here in Midlothian. One guy has 5 in his basement and back yard--including a restored Speedster.

Bill,
Is he planning on driving them, selling them, or letting the cars rot in his basement?
